The same neuron can tell fruit flies to walk toward the smell of rotting fruit and speed up, according to new research from Yale scientists. Neurobiologists once believed that each neuron held a ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

Researchers say the innovation, known as SmartEM, will speed scanning sevenfold and open the field of connectomics to a broader research community, boosting our understanding of brain function and ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Electron microscopy has existed for nearly a century, but a record ...

It takes just a few milliseconds: A vesicle, only a few nanometers in size and filled with neurotransmitters, approaches a cell membrane, fuses with it, and releases its chemical messengers into the ...

How are Electron Microscopes Used? There are a number of electron microscopy techniques, such as cryo-electron microscopy, that are normally used for imaging biological structures. Some of the most ...

Coatings are required to remove or diminish the electrical charges that promptly accumulate in a nonconducting material when examined by a high-energy electron beam. Material samples investigated at ...

Traditional electron microscopy techniques include scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), where electrons that interact with the sample are imaged. 4 The ...
